Benefits Of Buying Pre-Owned | Lafayette, LA

If you are on a tight budget and need to save money on a car, a pre-owned vehicle is a great choice. While new cars come with their own benefits, you can get more from a used car than just savings off the price tag. Here are five benefits of buying a pre-owned vehicle at Courvelle Toyota, otherwise known as Happytown USA.

1. Depreciation. A car naturally loses value as it ages, but a new car loses more value more quickly. With a used car, a large portion of depreciation has already occurred, which means you'll save money on the price tag and get more value out of your investment in the long run.
2. Vehicle history. You might feel leery of buying a used car because you don't know about its history. That's not a problem with a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report, which shows you how many owners a vehicle has had, whether it has been in any accidents, and other pertinent information. Every Toyota Certified Used Vehicle at Courvelle Toyota includes this useful report.
3. Dependability. Vehicles are designed to last a lot longer than they used to. This can help you feel more confident about buying a reliable, long-lasting pre-owned car. You can expect most cars to reach well over 100,000 miles, especially if you buy a low-mileage model.
4. Value. Another benefit to choosing a pre-owned vehicle is that you may be able to get a nicer vehicle than you could if you bought something new. You might be able to afford a higher trim level with more premium features.
5. Variety. The new-car market is limited to just one or two model years. When you choose a used car, you get choose whatever make, model, and year you want. This is beneficial if there is a specific feature or model you like that is no longer in production.
